32 cal ammo

[frdtech77]

I have a tomcat in 32 caliber. What is the best ammo for this caliber?

For defense, the .32 Silvertip has long had good results.

The .32 Federal Hydrashok, Remington Golden Saber and Winchester Ranger SXT are all also good.

Corbon's DPX looks interesting but have not shot it yet in .32.

CORBONs & Speer Gold Dots?

Try running a few different brands through your gun to see what works best. In mine, they all shoot to different point of aim, and big differences in groups.

I didn't write down which worked best, though, so I get to go out and test all over again. :supergrin:

CorBon doesn't make in 32 380 nothing under. They do make a fine 32 HP 60gr at 1050 and 147ftlbs I have in my Kel Tec P-32 and my Walters 32 Auto PP . In Goldenloki tests Corbon was only one to expand every shot and did 8" in jello.
I have a part box of Hornady JHP/XTP and haven't got 1 to expand shooting Milk jugs of water shoot clear thru 3 jugs. These feel recoil wise like a cap gun nothing I will never boy any more.

I've had trouble with the Silvertips in my Tomcat. It seems to love the Gold Dots. Just find something that feeds reliably because there will not be much of a difference between loads in .32 ACP. And hit what you aim at.

So true!

One guy's odd test results:

Leaving aside his handloads, and the use of longer-barreled guns, the factory Gold Dots were faster and the Silvertips slower than I've seen in any previous test. Winchester did just recently redesign the Silvertip.

Has anyone noticed that recently manufactured Speer .32 ammo was hotter and Winchester ammo tamer than previously?
